It's Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas

Yup, it's beginning to look a lot like Christmas!  This week I finally got the tree out and got the motorhome decorated (as much as I do) which sure helped to get into the Christmas spirit.  Today I did a bit of baking to start!

We've gone over to Mexico  a few times this past week - a couple of times our friend Gary drove us in and a couple of times we parked on the United States side and walked over.  Actually the reason he drove us over is a couple of things: 1) he has insurance coverage on his vehicle, 2) we were all going to have lunch as there is a little restaurant that has killer Chile Rellenos, and 3) he doesn't want to walk!!  The wait going back is really quite long, especially if you drive but it can also be rather interesting.

This past week was full moon.  Here in Yuma they have "Howling at the Moon" at every full moon which includes vendors and live music.  We had full intentions of going but it just didn't work  out this time.

The area is always interesting to walk around and it is often surprising what one sees.  It is great that there isn't a lot of traffic so it's easy to gawk around.

Look at those incredibly long pods on this tree

This tree is loaded with grapefruit.  Picking is this week and we have been invited to stop back to get some.

Thanks for stopping by my short little story this week.  Have a great week, stay warm if you are in the north, and have a great week.
